Dear Sir/Madam

With World Press Photo exhibition opened, Phos plans to hold an academic debate at the University of Malta. It will be dedicated to photojournalism and ethics in the media. We would like to invite you to take this small survey and to hear your opinion on the following issues. We appreciate even the shortest replies, as they are going to form the basis for the upcoming discussion, in which the general public will hopefully take part.

1. Do you believe that photographic record of wars, conflicts, and the suffering can contribute in the solving of such problems in any way?

2. Is it morally justified for the photographer to merely observe and take pictures in situations where human lives are endangered?

3. Do you find the images exhibited at World Press Photo disturbing or too graphic to be easily accessible by the general public?

4. Is the media abusing of its position of following world events, using the images and stories for the sole purpose of making a profit?

Please leave this document at the reception at St. James or send to the following address: lil_lilac_tree [Email address: lil_lilac_tree #AT# yhoo.com - replace #AT# with @ ] . Thank you kindly for taking this survey.
